Summary. A new technique for obtaining axenic meat is described. The procedure is based on the use of a liquid peracetic acid lock united with two isolators, permanently connected together. After immersion in a 3% solution of peracetic acid for 2 min, the surfaces of muscles obtained from pig, horse and cattle were shown to be completely decontaminated. Such meats appeared perfectly fit for gnotobiotic studies in the field of meat microbiology.
